Bill Kachel's Pennsylvania Railroad Cosmopolitan Division in HO scale occupies over 2400 square feet of space and is breathtaking in its scope. The time period is the 1960s and the level of super detailing and the overhead catenary work is incredible. The layout transitions from scene to scene very well with a big city, impressive engine facilities, boat docks and a large Steel mill area all super detailed. Multiple trains both diesel and electric run across the layout flawlessly and add to the excitement. There will be additional videos on this layout and an interview with the creator Bill Kachel himself forthcoming so stay tunned.

    I cant believe one person did this. Amazing doesn't even begin to describe this layout.
  • @TwoRailfans
    That is one of the most detailed layouts I've ever seen! I can only imagine what the station looks like in person.

    Over the years I have worked in consulting engineering, I had worked on many projects like these I see in the video so I know how much effort it takes to design structures like these and integrate them into the infrastructure . Outstanding

    This is at a whole other level. Spectacular isn’t enough of an accolade to describe this master work of art. Bravo!!!
  • @bennettdickmann1602
    During your introduction you referred to the model railroad as “a work of art”. Well said. How right you are. Too many people think of model railroading as “playing with toys”. They need to see what you are kind enough to share with us.

    If you ever have the opportunity to visit this layout, go!. You will not be disappointed. This layout is a marvel. I was there November 4th also. I filmed the layout but Al’s video is much better. And he states it well, this is a work of Art.

    This has to be the BEST detailed layout I have ever seen. Bill has done an amazing job and I put him in the same category as the late great Bill Allen with his Gorre & Daphetid layout. So many things have evolved with kits scenery materials etc and Bill has taken detailing to another level with his skills and attention to detail. Thanks Al for an awesome tour, you have prompted me to do better with my layout.

    The ships and boats are fantastic, this layout and Howard Zane’s layout plus Franklin and Manchester layout are the top three. Totally amazing. Aloha

    This is the most incredible layout I have ever seen. I would love to understand how he built all those buildings and bridges. He is a credit to the hobby and inspirational. Thanks so much for sharing this .

    WOW! This is by far one of the most detailed layout I have ever seen, beautiful! If they give out awards this would be at the top!
  • @rogergrove9824
    It is a work of art absolutely incredible your eyes cannot focus on all the detail this is a gold medal setup
  • @grahamsawyer831
    incredible. having the overhead wire really makes it - i do see why few people are brave enough to model this though!! many thanks for posting
  • @J3scribe
    That layout transcends the boundary between super-detailed and pure madness! It looks like a million hours went into creating it, and possibly the same amount of dollars. Just stupendous.
